I viewed the Iranian film "Persepolis" a few months ago. I was enthralled by the films subject matter and characters.

The windows were flung wide in the houses. From within there came the sound of pianos‚ little hands chased after each other and ran away fluttered in the sunny gardens‚ all bright with spring flowers. Street boys whistled‚ a little dog barked; people passed by‚ walking so lightly‚ so swiftly‚ they looked as though they wanted to break
